in Decompile Problem Post #237188
The point is that I want to modify cs_assault.
Right... And then what? Release it? Thats stealing, you know.
The problem is that I don't know how to handle Textract. When I open the program it just shuts down immediately.I have to do it another way?
Its probably a command line application, check the application readme file for correct usage (which is pretty much common sense).

in Decompile Problem Post #237183
Not sure, but this happens when the map has wad's included in the bsp.

Try this:

Extract the textures from the bsp using Textract.
Put all these textures into a new wad and load it into Hammer.
Then decompile the map and load the map in Hammer.

If you still see flat colors all over the place, then BSPTwoMAP can't handle bsp files that have wads included in them.

Whats the point of this anyway?

The monster_generic, if shot, will bleed, and when hit with the crowbar, it'll explode (gibs). So i would use the cycler entity.

Note: Im talking about the cycler entity, not the cycler_wreckage or the cycler_sprite entity.

1- You have used too much textures (it can be changed in map options)
Nope, that would give a different error.

The textures mentioned in the log are simply too big (over 256*256) This should'nt be a big problem, if you have enough memory and a good videocard, the game will run fine, but the map may note run on machines with lower specs. Also, its very likely that you'll hit an engine/game limitation very quickly if you keep using those big textures.

So you want a sky in your map? Then read this tut: http://twhl.co.za/tutorial.php?id=6

Applying skytextures is a bit different then applying world textures. That tutorials explains it all.

in Who remembers "The Challenger Deep" Post #236428
Before my mapping days, i played every singleplayer mod i could get my hands on, TCD included. I enjoyed it alot.
A couple of years later, i became an experienced mapper and i tried TCD again. This time, i find it horrible. Bland boring leveldesign, the Test Chamber for example was utter crap: it was jus a metal... thing

Good thing you're doing a remake, the screenshots look pretty neat, so you better get this finished. :D

Do you have any idea what the difference is between saving a jpg and saving a bmp file?

Two words: Quality difference.

So, always use bmp for your textures.

Moved.

Try the trigger_hurt entity. Give it a negative value so that, when triggered, will give players inside the trigger_hurt health. Trigger it again to turn it off.

Only possible if CSCZ supports trigger_hurts.

just my personal opinion, but i think the buttons with the coloured text look really ugly with the new theme.
Consider it changed.
does that "Texture Data" thing actually work? Like, I may actually increase it beyond 4 mb?
Yes, i allready enabled it by default with a texture data of 8192 (8MB) which has always been my default value.

in texture light problem Post #236279
This has got nothing to do with size or colors.

Striker, goto your cstrike directory, there should be folder named gfx, and inside that, a folder named env. Delete/move/backup the contents of the env folder (so that its empty), then fire up your map again and see if the sky works now. If it does, you can be sure that the sky texture got damaged. Be deleting/moving it, cstrike is forced to use the sky texture from the GCF files.

Also, be sure you run OpenGL.

in Fullbright Post #236234
No. You just have to cut down on faces. First of all, skyboxing your entire map is never a good idea, the r_speeds will skyrocket and the engine renders the entire, if not most of it, at once.

So i'd redo the skybox.

Also, if you have a large brush, like rocks, clifs and the like, increase it texture scale to lower the patches.
